Manc AvGeek<p>Manchester Monday 2 30th June 2025.</p><p>TF-ABE, Lockhead L-1011-1 TriStar, Peach Air, taxiing the last few metres to it's gate on Pier C at Manchester Airport, some time in the late 1990s.<br>These were leased from Air Atlanta, an Icelandic airline, and there was some speculation that the name might be an attempt to convince passengers that this was an American airline, possibly based in the biggest city in the State of Georgia (peaches being the un-official fruit of the State).<br>But no, it's an anagram, which shall be left for the reader to puzzle out…</p><p>Incidentally, Air Atlanta (AKA Atlanta Icelandic) bought old TriStars from a variety of airlines who were modernising their fleets, and flew them in the basic colours of their previous owners, and again, there was speculation they were trying to persuade people that these were flights operated by Hawaiian, Cathay Pacific, TWA, and others.<br>In reality, they were too cheap to bother with new paint jobs if they could possibly get away with it.</p><p><a href="https://social.teamb.space/tags/Manchester" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Manchester</span></a> <a href="https://social.teamb.space/tags/MAN" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MAN</span></a> <a href="https://social.teamb.space/tags/EGCC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>EGCC</span></a> <a href="https://social.teamb.space/tags/PierC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PierC</span></a> <a href="https://social.teamb.space/tags/Lockheed" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Lockheed</span></a> <a href="https://social.teamb.space/tags/L1011" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>L1011</span></a> <a href="https://social.teamb.space/tags/TriStar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TriStar</span></a> <a href="https://social.teamb.space/tags/CheapAir" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CheapAir</span></a> <a href="https://social.teamb.space/tags/PeachAir" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PeachAir</span></a> <a href="https://social.teamb.space/tags/ManchesterMonday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ManchesterMonday</span></a><br><a href="https://social.teamb.space/tags/AvGeek" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AvGeek</span></a> <a href="https://social.teamb.space/tags/aviation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>aviation</span></a> <a href="https://social.teamb.space/tags/planespotting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>planespotting</span></a> <a href="https://social.teamb.space/tags/photography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>photography</span></a></p>
